Ensuring there is enough water to grow food, turn energy turbines, quench the thirst of our cities is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Some 2.1 billion people don’t have access to water suitable for drinking and are exposed to disease and malnourishment as a result. This is nothing short of an emergency. Yesterday at the United Nations, I joined leaders from several countries to discuss how we can accelerate progress on this goal. This video explains why we must do so now.</span></p>

<p>Forget the moon race, the next decade's srace to sustain peoples and mother earth is the hugest entrepreneurial and development chalenge humanitgy has ever faced. Exciting times to be alive provided we transparently value the reality that 21st C is about economies of develoopijng people not of consuming up things the way the carbonise indsutrila era assumed was the only goal to audit</p>
<p>Sustainability's greatest human developments have 2 wholly unique characteritics:</p>
<p>massive collaboration that is linked to intergenerational map of purpose</p>
<p>valuation models that are exponential rising over time not extractive each quarter</p>
<p>Millennials are blessed that in Bangladesh and China they have 2 nations that have over 40 years of experience of demonstrating these professional requirements allbeit from very different resource bases but the same crisis - two of the world's 8 most populous nations being trapped in systems which left their peoples in completely underdeveloped states of being.</p>
<p>Goal 17<br/> When your place starts out inh tfe worfld with next to no assets other than hunders or even thousands of millions of people's lives to develop, you need to be the most trusted bottom-up partnering network over a long period of time, or have some very loyal invetsment friends. The first explains how sir fazle abed ended poverty; the second explain how china raced from a billion underdeleoped poeple to the most exciting human interests story ever seen. Sir Fazle started in a region of the world hit by a typhhon disaster that global relief organsaitins coldnt reach. He became their trusted conector and bridge bottom up relief and recovery empowering people in the communities to devfelop their own resilience capacity. China once it had confidence in trusting its peoples to be the hardest workoing in the worfld -if given the opportunity to grow commerce from the ground up - could look to the chiense diapora - tge 3rd richest in te world of the mid 1970s, and a netwirk who tyrned out to be both the most briliant tgraders and the designers of infratsructure for win-win trading.</p>

<p>E2 empowered the world's poorest vilage mothers not only to end poverty but to build the rural nation of bangladesh. Through a mixture of education, financial service and professionals who gave their expertise to desitgning bottom-up markets, sit fazle designed development networks to invest in 8 million mothers livelihhods, and their imoacts on other 30 million family members including next generation livelihoods. Over te first 25 yeras of BRAC more that a hudnered microfranchsies were deleoped innovating markets for the poor in all relevant food security crops, maternal and infant health, livelihood education, poultry, milk, crafts and more. Banglades became the first rural wide lab for mobile leapfroging models - sir fazle's <a href="http://www.blash.com" target="_blank">www.blash.com</a> has become the laregst cashless bank in the world.</p>
<p>G2 famine killing over 50 million chinese in the 1960s and many millions of people during the early years of bangaldesh as a new nation was the rfeason why china totally cghanged its ruling systems in the 1960s. The whole purpose of chiense leadership was focused on ensuring rural people never starved again. The 2 big innovations: crop science applied to tghe prfoducitivity of rice which both sir fazle and chiense agricultural experts partered round; china's barefoot doctors networks</p>
<p>The food security value chais that brac went on to redesign during its forst two decades of serving rural moters included:</p>
<p>..</p>
<p>G3 China's barefoot doctors networks around 1970 wenjt to live inj rural areas to serve that populace. Sir Fazle was inspired by this idea but found that Bangldesh didnt have ebough qualified to serve the citeis let alone ones who would be prepared to live inh vilages without electricity of other infrsatructure. So he first targeted te number 1 disease killing infants - diarrhea was killing quarter on ifnants of bangaldesh in 1970s. The oral rehydration action learning franchoise was the first ever to scale rural bangladesh- it needed a lot of rehearsal since it required personal coaching to every rural mother (most ilietare). It soon becamse clear that therfe were other basic inafnta an dmother cures that a vilage paraworlker could be trained to deliver and make a susstainable livelihood out of serving.

<p>Please note – all editorial improvements to tour welcome; goal is all hard working youth (especially girls who history excluded) can expect to enjoy these opportunities</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MA1 Markets where shops were key</p>
<p>In some ways these were the simplest for ma’s digital wizards to web into first digital platforms. In the west digi-commerce started round eg amazon and ebay. However from the getgo, ma was interested in a twist- digital yellow pages- what sme business networks could also be linkedin</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MA2 By 2000 sustainability’s worlds biggest question: what was the most scaleable human purpose of universal connectivity by text mobile. Bangladesh and kenya’s greatest end poverty entrepreneurs were convinced : bank a billion unbanked. Mpesa won the race as first to scale out of kenya – its model of cashless banking is now world largest in Bangladesh. All of this showed that financial services could be returned to credit everyone starting with the hard working poorest. Fortunately Jack Ma’s timing was exquisite. He created alipay out of the ashes of big banks burnt by sub-prime, and basing his market on smart mobile connectivity. Not only did alipay become china’s main marketmaker of digital cash transactions but big-data-small-analysis enabled ant financial to become the worlds’s first social credit ratings epicenter</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MA3 Because of <a href="http://chinacapitalism.com" target="_blank">china capitalism</a> unique evolution- effectively only 3 internet companies were licensed through 2000s – the big 3 have become “cloud” /platform etc ecosystems for all sorts of start ups and markets for apps. Moreover, digital assets are regarded in china as more valuable to grow productive human futures with than bricks assets</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MA4 This leaves a lot of tough markets that jack- and his alumni and partners - is interested in changing including</p>
<p>Entertainment media</p>
<p>Education</p>
<p>Health services</p>
<p>Green services</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MA5 Many of these will depend on whether place governments agree that big data small wizards are essential to social blockchains</p>

<p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1499932532370_162304">There are some markets ma would probably be wise never to get into unless there is some smart analysis that becomes the markets main value driver – eg planes, big ships, trains. These may be the last markets that nations quarrel over as it doesn’t make sense for every nation to compete to build planes. Meanwhile jobs and sustainability of all of our youth depends on the markets that jack and his friends inspire everyone to collaboratively build. Worldwide youth “must” be the biggest and best economy of the 21st century dwarfing the big national markets of 20th C.

Coordinated development will be promoted to form a balanced structure of development.

<p>Dear…</p>
<p>CHINESE President Xi Jinping on Friday delivered a speech at the 12th Summit of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies.</p>
<p>The following is the full text of the speech:</p>
<p>Promoting Openness and Inclusiveness</p>
<p>To Achieve Interconnected Growth</p>
<p>Statement on the State of the Global Economy by H.E. Xi Jinping</p>
<p>President of the People's Republic of China</p>
<p>At the G20 Hamburg Summit</p>
<p>Hamburg, 7 July 2017</p>
<p>Chancellor Merkel,</p>
<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>It is a great pleasure to be with you in Hamburg, the City of Bridges, to discuss ways of building a bridge of cooperation to advance our shared prosperity. First of all, I express heartfelt appreciation to you, Chancellor Merkel, and the German government for your warm hospitality.</p>
<p>The global economy is showing signs of moving in the right direction. The related international organizations forecast that it will grow by 3.5 percent this year, the best performance that we have seen in several years. This would not be possible without the efforts of the G20. On the other hand, the global economy is still plagued by deep-seated problems and faces many uncertainties and destabilizing factors.</p>
<p>Facing such challenges, the G20 agreed in Hangzhou last year on the path forward: building an innovative, invigorated, interconnected and inclusive world economy. This year, building on the theme of the Hangzhou Summit, the Hamburg Summit has made "Shaping an Interconnected World" its theme. What we need to do now is to work together to translate our vision into action. With this in mind, I wish to state the following:</p>
<p>Firstly, we should stay committed to building an open global economy. This commitment of the G20 to build open economies saw us through the global financial crisis, and this commitment is vital to reenergizing the global economy. Various international organizations have revised upward forecast for this year's global growth, mainly because of a projected 2.4 percent growth for global trade and 5 percent growth for global investment. We must remain committed to openness and mutual benefit for all so as to increase the size of the global economic "pie". As the world's major economies, we should and must lead the way, support the multilateral trading system, observe the jointly established rules and, through consultation, seek all-win solutions to common challenges we face.</p>
<p>Secondly, we should foster new sources of growth for the global economy. Innovation, more than anything else, is such a new source of growth. Research shows that 95 percent of the world's businesses are now closely linked with the Internet, and the global economy is transitioning toward a digital economy. This means we should boost cooperation in digital economy and the new industrial revolution and jointly develop new technologies, new industries, new business models and new products. Another source of growth derives from making greater efforts to address the issue of development and implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and such efforts will both benefit developing countries and generate business and investment opportunities for developed countries. In other words, this will be a win-win game for all. At the Hangzhou Summit last year, we reached important consensus on innovation and development. This momentum of cooperation created has been sustained this year under the German chairmanship of G20. Going forward, we should see that more substantial and concrete outcomes are delivered.</p>
<p>Thirdly, we should work together to achieve more inclusive global growth. Currently, global economic growth is not balanced, and technological advances work against job creation. According to the projection of the World Economic Forum, artificial intelligence will take away more than 5 million jobs in the world by 2020. The G20 has an important mission, which is to reaffirm the vision of pursuing inclusive growth agreed upon at the Hangzhou Summit last year, and strike a balance between fairness and efficiency, between capital and labor, and between technology and employment. To achieve this goal, we must ensure synergy between economic and social policies, address the mismatch between industrial upgrading and knowledge and skills, and ensure more equitable income distribution. The G20 needs to place more importance on cooperation in education, training, employment, business start-up and wealth distribution-related mechanisms, as progress on these fronts will make economic globalization work better.</p>
<p>Fourthly, we should continue improving global economic governance. In the wake of the global financial crisis, the G20 has done a lot to improve macroeconomic policy coordination, reform international financial institutions, tighten international financial regulation and combat tax avoidance, thus ensuring financial market stability and recovery. We should build on these achievements. In particular, we should strengthen coordination of macroeconomic policies, forestall risks in financial markets and develop financial inclusion and green finance to make the financial sector truly drive the development of the real economy.</p>
<p>China recently hosted a successful Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation. Acting in the spirit of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, the forum participants achieved fruitful outcomes in terms of boosting the connectivity of policies, infrastructure, trade, finance and people. Guided by a new vision of governance, we built a new platform of cooperation to tap into new sources of growth. The commitment of the Belt and Road Forum is highly compatible with the goal of the G20.</p>
<p>A German saying goes to the effect that, "Those who work alone, add; those who work together, multiply." In this spirit, let us work together to promote interconnected growth for shared prosperity and build toward a global community with a shared future.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
